2 more LI towns probed in Sandy cleanup work

Two more Long Island towns have received subpoenas from the Suffolk County district attorney’s office as it investigates how local governments spent tens of millions of taxpayers’ money on Sandy cleanup.

According to Newsday, municipal officials in Huntington and Smithtown confirmed they were issued grand jury subpoenas. They said they were cooperating with the investigation.

Last week, Brookhaven, Islip and Babylon also confirmed they were issued subpoenas.

As of this month, federal records show that municipalities across Long Island had undertaken projects totaling $247.5 million, for which $178.1 million has been disbursed by FEMA.

The Nassau County district attorney’s office also is investigating how county officials entered into emergency contracts with companies doing storm cleanup.
